The Flesh That Smiles Lyrics

Once I used to believe
to the tales they used to tell me
about flesh that smiles and loves and cares
Until that flesh turned grey
and the smile suddenly froze
but my heart keeps on beating, when will it stop?

When will I die like a dog, howling,
licking my foaming mouth?

I'm purple and swollen
intoxicated by your damn belief
it's cold outside, yet I want to burn by the heat
salivating, hating and spitting on my sores again
alas! they won't heal, but keep on giving birth
to venomous leaves

And I keep on chewing those leaves
and they are bitter, only my blood is sweet,
sweeter than the flesh that smiles,
that one tasted like a rotten apple-
only its love was sweet like honey
but I was dizzy and entangled, I did not taste it
I was caught among its bloodclots...
